over40pirate 0 #1 Posted July 12, 2020 I am trying to get the belt on the deck. 418-8 RD 42". How do you release pressure on the idler to get the belt on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,745 #2 Posted July 12, 2020 You don't release pressure at all. Jus get the belt on all pulleys except ONEe outside pulley. On THAT pulley, start the belt on the outside edge of the pulley and TURN the pulley by hand to get the belt to drop into the 'V'. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunahead72 2,403 #3 Posted July 12, 2020 And when you start turning that last pulley, things start happening fast, so keep your fingers out of the way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
